Cut thick slices of watermelon for a sweet and juicy summer treat with this 7-inch Santoku knife from KitchenAid. The Japanese-style knifes performs all the functions of a standard chef’s knife. Translated as "three good things," Santoku knives excel at the three styles of cutting most employed in the kitchen, slicing, dicing, and mincing with equal capability.

KitchenAid forged the Santoku knife’s blade from high carbon stainless steel to resist rust and stains. The flat edge design executes finer cutting tasks, like mincing garlic, with particular aptitude. A series of small depressions run parallel to the blade’s edge, generating air pockets between the blade and the food it is slicing. These air pockets prevent thinly sliced food from sticking to the blade. For greater balance and strength, the Santoku knife benefits from a full tang, sealed in the shatter-resistant DuPont Delrin handle. The acetal resin handle features an ergonomically friendly contoured grip and a brushed stainless-steel end cap. The tops of the blade and the handle run in-line to create extra space for fingers. Though dishwasher- safe, KitchenAid recommends washing the Santoku knife by hand. Made in China, a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty covers the set. The knife weighs 1 pound upon shipping.
